bordercolor change based on UnitClassification

[MoonWitch]

Hi,

Was updating oUF_alekk, and I am struck by one issue that I can't solve.
Basically, he had built in a function (in OverrideName) to change the bordercolor based on UnitClassificiation. I placed said if structure in the Shared section (line 836), but it doesn't seem to work. Any pointers?

Shared() is executed once, and that's during frame initialization. A hack is to insert your function into the self.__elements table, which is executed every OnShow, and :UpdateAllElements().

local UpdateClassification = function(self)
	local class = UnitClassification(self.unit)
	if(class == 'elite' or class = 'rareelite' or class == 'worldboss') then
		self:SetBackdropBorderColor(1,0.84,0,1)
	else
		self:SetBackdropBorderColor(1,1,1,1)
	end
end
-- 8<8<8<8<8<8<8<
	table.insert(self.__elements, UpdateClassification)
	self:RegisterEvent('UNIT_CLASSIFICATION_CHANGED', UpdateClassification)

You'll want the event as well, to handle those elites turning normal and such.

Also, your if(not unit) probably won't work. As of oUF 1.4.x it should be set to whatever single-unit is spawned or {party,raid}{,pet,target}.

Fixed both issues Thank you!

I thought the shared would be called every time I changed target as well... Hence the why I put it there.
